"This is a great game."

submission: Blosics

It really is fantastic. It's well-made and the physics is great. Its only flaw is that the difficulty is too high. The level that I particularly couldn't beat practically takes a degree in chaos theory particle physics to figure out.

Overall, it's a great game, but the learning curve is much too steep.

Score: 5

"Uhm. . . Interesting."

I'll start by saying this much: I really liked the style. It was gritty and weird, though his left hand was a bit funky-looking. As for the content, however, I thought that your concept was okay, but the presentation was bad. I feel that the audio could have been improved upon, though I honestly wish I had an idea as to how.

Score: 9

"Fantastic!"

Wonderful game you've made here. I love the simplistic style and gameplay, as well as the very open storyline. No direct motivation; just run away as fast as you possibly can. Very nice, and adds a bit of player imagination to it. Another great thing about the game is fact that the landscape changes every time.

The small details added to the greatness as well: the birds taking flight, the glass breaking, etcetera. But the best little detail was "You ran [distance] before turning into a fine mist." That's genius. Pure and absolute genius.

The only con I could see, however, was the steep learning curve. This, however, doesn't take enough away from the game to make it bad. Absolutely spectacular game, and I applaud you for it!

Score: 9

"Honestly, it's stuck in my head now."

submission: Did You Hear That?

date: June 9, 2009

That was a very interesting collab idea. The concept was good. I'm sure that one could delve into the psychology of sound perception, but I have no such degree of psychological knowledge.

I thought that the sounds were somewhat annoying, though. Also, I'd have liked a more prominent transition between artists besides a style change.

However, great collab and I hope you do more. Sorry if this review seemed slightly non-linear; I'm very tired.

"'Twas a Good Parody."

submission: Girlchan in Paradise Ep1

date: March 2, 2009

I thought it was rather amusing. I'm quite the anime fan myself, and I have to say that this flash parodied rather well.

I realize that a lot of anime fans were hurt over this flash, but face it: this is how a lot of animes go. Forget plotline. Hell, from what I saw, half the point of this flash was to make fun of the fact that many animes have rather confusing and bizarre plotlines that make no sense if you plop right in the middle of a story arch like what we just did here.

Secondly: The voice acting was MEANT to be bad. Tons of non-Japanese speakers will not know how to pronounce all of the crazy weapons and such that are listed in anime. Also, many animes have pretty terrible voice acting. (In all actuality, given that this was a real anime, I would have said that the voice actor of the guy in black to be the best. But he was a minor character and didn't get many lines.)

Yes, it repeated itself a lot. But look at many other animes... They kind of do that, too. Same with the long-windedness of the flash; it parodied the length of countless story-arcs in countless animes.

The main point I'm attempting to get across here is the fact that the flash was a good parody of the overall consensus of anime according to non-anime fans.

Thanks for reading my large, essay-like review.

P.S. (I did find the length to be a bit annoying.)

"So Stupid"

And yet so hilarious.

...

Ah, I need to write a better review.

The voice acting was alright. Seemed akin to that one 80s movie. I liked your visual style. Nice cliffhanger.

"This needs to get front paged."

submission: Cubefield

date: January 21, 2009

Fantastic game. I'm not all that good at it, but it's fun. I love the three dimensions. I felt that it lacked something audio-wise, but this was also a good thing because one can make their own soundtrack.

I did, however, find the physics a bit tough. It just seemed not to have enough friction, but that might just be my preference.

So yes, a very good game indeed.

Score: 9

"Holy Christian Symbolism, Batman!"

submission: Fågelskrämman

date: January 13, 2009

Only if you interpret it that way. I'm rather unbiased. I took it for what it was. The story of an abused soul/person/thing that moved on. It was a good piece. It didn't start subtly, what with bird faces hitting the camera and all, but it did what it was meant to.

The only bit that i didn't like was when the kid was speaking. I felt like that messed it up somehow, but maybe that's just me. Given your talent at Flash and storytelling, I probably would've shown the gun being exchanged from the father's hands to the son's, rather than the text.

All in all, it was a fantastic movie. Definitely a re-watcher. I'm probably going to look through the rest of your submissions now.

"Eh..."

submission: Santa Rockstar:Metal Xmas

date: December 23, 2008

It's great idea to have a Christmas Guitar Hero. The biggest problems that I found were not sensitive enough controls, bad timing, and bad perspective.

The bad timing and perspective seem to derive from the same problem: as the notes get closer, they seem to be on this curve rather than a straight slope (Basically, they slow down at the last second). I found this annoying, to say the least.

As for the unresponsive controls, I have no idea how to fix that. I wish I could help you more on that front. I hope that you're able to fix it.

Great concept!

"Silly!"

submission: I Found A Dollar!

date: December 16, 2008

'Twas a silly flash that expressed the pure joy of something good happening when you're feeling down. It made me smile and the music choice was raveable. The background of the joy scene was well done, but I found the animation somewhat lacking. It didn't have the quality that one normally sees on the front page, but that's perfectly fine. The content of the flash was really what made this one, not the animation quality.

I give you a four out of five and an eight out of ten. Have a good day.
